Austin Art And Music Commissions Request Input On $12M In Bond Funds

The Austin Music Commission and Arts Commission are deciding how to spend $12 million in bond funds that were part of a $128 million bond proposition voters passed in 2018.

The Commission is seeking input from the public through December 5.

Commissioners have emphasized the money could only be used to acquire or improve space for creative endeavors and could not be used to fund programs. 

One of the proposals included in the draft of the recommendations is to offer flexible rehearsal space, theater capacity of at least 50 people, visual arts studios or gallery space, classroom space, or live music venues with a minimum 250-person capacity.

The art commission will meet December 9 to approve final recommendations on how to use the funds.
